Hi Diane, Thanks for the pointer, the campground looks nice. But at the last second our plans changed. The bike I was going to pickup was sold to someone else and the trip was cancelled. So no campground report at this time... Thanks again! Jeff

We'll be traveling/camping up to Worcester, MA in the next few days to pickup a mountain bike I just bought. We live in NW Jersey so it's just a three to four hour trip. Any suggestions for campgrounds in the area? We generally prefer State and County over private. We'll also have two dogs...

Good day today! Got the Raindrop hitched up to the Cherokee and drove around the neighborhood. Our 'hood is very hilly, so this was a test for the little 4 cylinder Jeep with no tow package. And we did well! We could go and we could stop without any angst. Don't even have the brake...

WD-40 didn't work. Heating didn't work. Took handle off and brought to local locksmith. Much jiggling and wiggling later it opened. Must've been an open-says-a-me kind of locksmithing voodoo. He found nothing wrong. Just a freaky one of those things. He suggested that the handle be...

Alright then. WD-40 applied. Waiting...

I'm afraid I know the answer to this already. I just tried the key for the cabin lock. It's stuck. Really stuck. The key went in horizontally, I gave it a counter-clockwise 1/4 turn...and nothing. Handle didn't lock, but the key will not rotate at all, except in a loosey-goosey kind of...

And,yes,it's the roof racks on the TD that's the issue.

Hi Bruce, We have the Campinn installed Yakima system. I believe they come off quite easily. I'll be using the racks in camp for various things though such as pod storage and as an attachment point for other tarps and canopies, so I'll be leaving them in place. I guess I could pop one off...

Kelty, yes! And easy too. Toughest part was getting the pole placement on the roof rack stable. Ended up using an adjustable hiking pole placed handle down into the Yakima full length bike tray. Perfect. Just tied it off onto to rack ends with a trucker's hitch. Set it up normally from...

Hi Bruce, Thanks for the quick reply! Yes, that's what I'm thinking. Would love to see a picture of what you had done, and what it looks in place. Jeff

Went to do the inaugural side tent set up. Started to read the directions and got stuck on the instruction to remove the roof rack if one is installed. But I don't WANNA de-install the roof rack! So I tried to install it with the rack still in place. Not so good. The solution may be to make...

The jacking up bit was because we have a VERY steep driveway up to the house. Even at the top where it flattens out a bit it's still not close to level. I used a small hydraulic jack under the axle to raise the trailer, then opened the scissor jack onto some wood. There was no way I could...

First sit in the driveway.

Leak into cabin from AC area

Anyone have a leak into the cabin diagnosed and repaired that was from the AC area? In our last rains, I mean heavy rains, a wet spot developed in the foot area of our bed. There was a small drip that was coming down the wall from behind the overflow drain pan exit hose. The hose itself...

Awakening an old thread here.... Is the Dometic/Waeco, model #CF-035AC110, at this site,http://www.defender.com, the fridge that will fit in the Raindrop? I looks to be a good price, $489.99, with $20.00 shipping to me in Jersey. Jeff

Hmmm, pic doesn't seem to be appearing....

Hello to all, Our 560 Ultra SUV #581 was delivered to us yesterday! Yippee! The three of us, Carole, Ace and me, spent our first night in the RD...in our driveway, last night. Success! Now begins the process of prepping the TV's electrically and outfitting the 'drop. An REI Alcove came...
